The cream of broccoli soup from my repertoire
Saute one chopped onion (sweet is my choice) and a couple of cloves of garlic in a pan
when softened
Make a roux (1 tbs olive oil 1 tbs flour)
cook together til tan in color
Add 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
Add 2 cups skim or 1 percent milk
Add 1 bag of frozen chopped broccoli (or fresh but this is one of my pantry meals :)

Cook til broccoli is tender and broth is slightly thickened
BLend with hand blender or in a real blender in batches if desired

Sprinkle some really good cheddar on top -

Enjoy
 
I'll have to find my grandma's recipe at home but I remember it used velveeta, chopped up potatoes & a bag of frozen broccoli cauliflower mix. Ended up being thick. Kinda tasted like a mashed potato with broccoli & cheese... which actually come to think of it might satisfy my craving just as good! ...along with some healthier soup like veggie or miso.
 
Howdy moon,
Lol sounds like my 1st exsperience with making a
smoothie,I uses a bananah,frozen FF yogart,skim milk and mixed and it was like drinking snot lol where did I go wrong,I was told to freeze the bananah next time I was wanting something new and heathy and it didn't turn out right.
My aunt makes the potatoe soup using the cheese in the jar and bacon bitts and milk and cubed poatoes that have been bolied pretty good but I keep away from that.I hope you have a nice weekend!Tammy
 
I am so with you on the 8000 step walk in the cold. That is what I did today and I think the cold got to me. Although its not that cold here, probably just above 0.

At least we are getting out there for something. Hey its still 2.5 miles or something.
 
So I made it through the weekend & celebrating the man's birthday. I got lucky in that he really wanted a carvel ice cream cake & I hate ice cream. A normal cake in the house & I would have been all over that thing!

We ended up playing games a lot this weekend & I found out I love Scene it! I didn't exercise that much -officially, but today is a whole new day & I WILL get my time up.

Got a bit of a work out this morning trying to get into my frozen car! I thought it was lightly iced over on the windshield, but the door wouldn't open when I tried. So I checked the passenger side, it was stuck too. WTF? I kept jerking on it - kinda shaking the car, but it came open finally. I crawled through & shoved the driver's side door open from the inside! Jeez. Then I hopped in & turned on the defrost. Notice the ice was ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW!
The friggin top leaked again! Which sucks in the summer - but at least the water dries up. Guess in the winter it just freezes. In the doors, on the glass,,..everywhere. INSANITY. I wanted to cry, but I ended up thinking about what a dumb blonde I must have looked like to the neighbors by struggling to get into the car & then scraping the windshield from the inside...I cracked myself up & ended up laughing my butt off!

Full moon madness in FULL effect around here.

Good news, I actually packed my lunch today & don't have to eat the turkey mac & cheese on the hot bar today. :)
 
You hate ice cream? What kind of nut are you? LOL JK!!!

Sounds like you had a good weekend. Must be pretty darn cold to have ice on the inside of your car though. Yikes!

They do have this spray stuff for cars that de-ices it. My dh's grandma gives him some every year for a Christmas present. :D
 
I know, I know.... I was spoiled by my grandfather making GOOD ice cream growing up & then a few years ago a guy I was seeing filmed a local news story on an accident at the ice cream shop & from that day on I have no interest in ice cream what so ever. A frozen chocolate cover banana on the other hand & I am putty...

I think it works in my favor, since I don't need the calories. But yeah I am amazed at the suspicious looks I get sometimes. My man keeps stating that ALL girls love ice cream... nope... I'm just unique like that. Not ticklish either! Which really bugs him.

So no more ice IN the car so far, but its raining again today so who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Got in 8872 steps yesterday. I did walk for 30 mins just wasn't ask fast as it needs to be. Hopefully today I can make the 10,000, or at least better than yesterday.
 
Not ticklish? I wish I had that gene, lol. Good job on getting your steps in per day. Ice inside the car sounds like NO fun. It snowed a ton here yesterday (very early morning) so it made the commute very interesting. I white knuckled it the whole way to work, and my commute which is normally only 15 minutes took over an hour.... I can't wait for winter to be gone!

Click to expand...
being unique is a good thing :) makes you stand out... but you already do :waving:
 
Hey, I'm looking at your weight and thinking you must look pretty good and I"m looking forward to being at your weight, hopefully in two months or so.

Thanks for the great comment in my diary.
 
Hey there MOOOONY!!
Wow did I read that correctly?YOUR NOT TICKLISH?
Luck yo you because I hate it so bad I cry lol.I used to not care much
or eat that often ice cream UNTIL I got preggers with my 1st child and
the ice cream thing came naturally lol more like MALTS haha.
Well keep that ticker heading south,Tammy:hurray:
 
My ticker feels stuck. Ug. Time to spice it up again I guess.

& I only wish I looked good at this weight. I am 5'4" so this weight still has me at obese & there is NO WAY in hades that I would get caught in a bathing suit at this point. I like me better than I did a year ago, but I'm still not looking like I look in my head.

I should rephrase the not ticklish thing. I have one spot where my leg mets my belly that is ticklish, but I have learned that if you focus really hard & pretend like it doesn't tickle & don't laugh at all.... then you can fake it to where people get bored with trying to tickle you. Plus I don't really let that many people get in that area without getting decked!

Man... I'm bummed about losing Heath Ledger so young. We have got to keep the sexy ones alive!
